Summary
Uniswap v4, the next version of the popular decentralized exchange, is expected to launch in Q3 of this year. The new version will introduce “hooks,” which allow developers to inject custom logic into smart contracts, enabling dynamic adjustments and lower fees for users. The launch will coincide with the implementation of several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), including EIP-1153, which will enable transient storage and optimize smart contracts for more complex functionality. The Uniswap Foundation is committed to conducting rigorous audits to ensure the security and smooth launch of v4.
Key Points
1. Uniswap Foundation plans to launch Uniswap v4 in Q3 of this year, as revealed in a tweet.
2. Uniswap v4 introduces the concept of “hooks” in its code, allowing for dynamic adjustments and diverse use cases, potentially resulting in lower fees and better asset management for users.
3. The implementation of EIP-1153 in Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade will enable transient storage, which will be utilized in Uniswap v4 to conduct “flash accounting” and reduce gas fees associated with swaps.
